Sydney Secondary College - Instrumental Music Program
The Sydney Secondary College Instrumental Music Program (SSC IMP) is a co-curricular music program which includes students from across all three campuses of the college (Balmain, Leichhardt and Blackwattle Bay).
The IMP is made up of over 200 students (roughly 10% of all students in the college) and so is one of the largest programs in the college and a highlight of cross-campus life for many SSC students.
There are four wind bands, three string groups, three jazz groups and a percussion ensemble, with many students participating in multiple ensembles. Each ensemble rehearses once a week before school during term time. All ensembles involve students from multiple campuses, and the college bus returns students to their home campus in time for the school day.
Each ensemble performs multiple times a term, and there are over 60 performances organised by the IMP in any given year. Every ensemble participates in the ONE concert (Term 1), IMP Music Camp (Term 2), NSW Band Festival or Australian Schools Orchestral Festival (Term 2 or 3), Music In The Park (Term 3) and either our November Nocturnes concert or Jazz At The Bay show (Term 4).
